Bright Horizons Poppetts Day Nursery and Preschool

About this day nursery

Bright Horizons Poppetts Day Nursery and Preschool is part of a larger network of over 300 nurseries across the UK, offering childcare and early education with a wealth of experience. The nursery focuses on supporting families through their "Nurture Approach," which integrates learning with emotional well-being to help children grow and thrive.

They are committed to providing a stimulating and nurturing environment where children can develop and reach their full potential. The nursery emphasises creating a secure and comfortable atmosphere for children, starting from their initial settling-in sessions, which are designed to help both children and parents feel at ease.

Freshly prepared meals are a priority, with attention to dietary needs and allergen management. The curriculum, known as "Bright Beginnings," incorporates five key learning areas to build essential life skills.

They also offer a variety of outdoor activities, including Forest School and Eco-Schools programmes, to enhance children's development.

Our ethos

At Bright Horizons, children are supported at every moment by dedicated, skilled, and caring grown-ups, our nursery practitioners. The Nurture Approach™ is central to life at our Nurseries. It brings together learning and emotional wellbeing as part of the same amazing growing-up journey. We know that attachment to at least one caregiver provides children with the secure base necessary to explore, learn, communicate, express their emotions, develop new skills, and to thrive! Our Nurture Approach recognises the importance of the Key Person role in creating a sense of emotional safety for children, providing an environment in which they feel known, safe, and loved.
